Thanks for all the comments. DOC I amnot sure but I am about 100 miles from the coast and in the summer it gets extremely hot, maybe that is part of the reason. I do know that there are very few around here. JOY, I liked the paints too, but we are trying to go with mostly red, black or some...

Thanks for the help with the photos.

Exactly what I am saying. If more people would retain their quality animals thru the feeding process they would see the benefits from their program regaurdless of color. Why let the end user get the profit without the investment. I know this may not work for everyone but if you could comingle a...

This spring is the first real grass they have had in a couple of years. Down here we had been going thru a drought the last couple of years from Jan 05 up until about Oct. 06 with only 1/2 " of rain. Until then they had been making it thru with only catus, brush and minerals. Sometimes the...

Tried Angus for a couple of years but the bull and calves fell apart in the summer months. The few heifers that I kept for replacements calved on time but the calves and enviroment really put a beating on them and they did not rebreed. Have been giving some thought to either a Santa Cruz (King...

What needs to happen is that the order buyers and others buying up the cattle for feeding need to get better educated in what a good beef animal is. Seems to me that as the beef market has grown thru the years, buyers are getting a little lazy by buying off of hair coat and not on the actual...

It must be the angle. From behind he looks wide as a tank. He is 5 and 1/2 yrs old now and is weighing 1800- 1900 lbs.

We ranch in Duval County in the heart of the brush country. We typically raise all of our females and bring in our bulls from local suppliers. Cattle raised along the coast on good grass pastures will tend to fall apart over here so we need our females to be highly adapted to making a living on...

Just want to see what you all think. I raise cattle in South Texas. Very little input except for minerals, occasional cubes and hay in the winter. Cows need to make it on their own or not at all. Miss a calve and your gone no excuses. They may not work for everyone but they work here in this...

I agree with Badlands for what you are trying to accomplish I would try a good Balancer, Santa Cruz or Simangus cross. I think any of these would help you produce a fine terminal cross for your area.

You are right, down here it is the same thing, but for the most part you can see what most are trying to do. What would give producers more incentive to upgrade their programs is if the premiums were realized down at the market level. There is all the talk about wanting cattle preconditioned and...

What give cattle their reputations is the extremes that are given within each breed. For instance Charloais for their big calves, Herefords for pinkeye, Beefmasters for their varied color patterns, angus for their funnel butts etc, etc, etc for every breed out there. Most every breed organiztion...

EC Looking at the two bulls you have to pick from. I would not hesitate on either one. Looking at the pedigrees from both, their is a LOT of consistency on both bulls for solid colored calves. The L2 breeding is some of the best for consistency. Check out their website to see for yourself...

Using that bull will be depend on the cows that you are breeding to, but if he had good bloodlines on bothsides and will be used as a terminal sire there should be no issue using him. Crossbreeding animals should always try to maximize the heterosis. So in choosing the bull to use you must...
